Datagrid is actually one of the few flash elements which I unfortunately haven't replicated with the framework -- at least not yet. It's too bad that the <cfgrid> tag requires cfform and so can't be used for this -- or at least not easily. Which means when I do manage to find/make the time to implement an alternative I will have to implement the Flash datagrid myself. There are a few other alternatives for forms, although afaik none quite as thorough with the possible exception of PLUM which I haven't had time to really look into. You might give it a look if you're using Windows and don't mind installing the .NET framework. http://www.productivityenhancement.com/ XSL isn't terribly difficult -- or at least it wasn't for me... It does take some getting used to tho, and there are a few learning-curve issues that can be kinda hairy, like it took me a while to find the syntax to copy all the attributes from a given tag (iirc it's <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />) and case-sensitivity can be a real bitch. > I saw this http://clearsoftware.net/jComponents1%5F0/ on > the list this morning which has some nice looking ones. They're not bad -- I would have prefered they use slightly different syntax for the tabsets, but we're using them at the office where I work currently. (It's a large existing application and it's not really feasible to rewrite the whole app in any given framework, onTap or otherwise.) the jComponents tabsets use: <cf_tab> <cf_tabnavigation> <cf_tabitem label="tab 1"> <cf_tabitem label="tab 2"> </cf_tabnavigation> <cf_tabpanel> ... tab 1 content here ... </cf_tabpanel> <cf_tabpanel> ... tab 2 content here ... </cf_tabpanel> </cf_tab> I'd have preferred <cf_tabset> <cf_tab label="tab 1"> ... tab 1 content here ... </cf_tab> <cf_tab> <cf_tablabel> tab 2 </cf_tablabel> ... tab 2 content here... </cf_tab> </cf_tabset> Which is roughly equivalent of the xml syntax for the onTap tabs. my 2c :) s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
